A forward mount assembly for connecting a pylon to an intermediate case of a gas turbine engine, the forward mount assembly includes a forward mount platform, a wiffle tree assembly, and first and second A-arms. The platform is connected to the pylon and is disposed adjacent the intermediate case. The wiffle tree assembly is connected to the forward mount platform through a first ball joint. The first A-arm is connected to a first side of the intermediate case and the second A-arm is connected to a second opposing side of the intermediate case. The first and second A-arms are mounted to the forward mount platform and are mounted to opposing ends of the wiffle tree. The aforementioned arrangement allows the first and second A-arms to react a thrust load at the intermediate case substantially parallel to a centerline axis of the gas turbine engine.
